Final notes -
I had to pull out my annual for the answer to a couple things - wow - as much as my memory of High School is so bad - reading some of the comments from the people that wrote in it, well, there are definitely a few people I would LOVE to find again and see what they are doing, I did find one on Facebook and he is doing now exactly what he said he wanted to do then, play in a band and make music.
And in looking at some of the staff of the school - DAMN - we had a few hotties, I know where some of my tastes come from.
